You know - I would like to have issues of A+/Incider to read.  I had
the first issue of A+ and pretty read most the issues until they
merged with Incider.

Is there anything we (that is the A2 Community) can do to perhaps get
magazines released?   I presume we'd need to get the copyrights to
magazines and maybe the articles released?

Don

You pre-empted my announcement a little bit, but here goes...

After I move (literally over this weekend), I was going to start an A+/InCider project. The outcome of which would be very similar to the Nibble digital archive. My plan was to scan every issue and put it on DVD for the community to purchase for the cost of materials. I was going to ask for donations, either cash to purchase missing issues, or of actual issues. It's very much a community project as it would take some serious $ to obtain every issue and special issue.

Would the community welcome a project such as this? This is at least a personal project for myself as I would _love, love_ a digital archive just like the Nibble one.

Thoughts, ideas?

I'll start a new thread if there's enough interest.

Starting a new thread is probably a good idea, but in the meantime, how do you plan on scanning so much material? I'm happy to offer advice on how everything can be scanned at best possible quality.

I'd love to hear any tips/suggestions you have. My scanner can do some pretty high-quality scans, but I'm always open to new techniques. Any suggestions for getting around the spine curl (without destroying the issue)?
